Video games stories with a bad ending or endings, in which the primary conflict is unable to be resolved and/or a bad fate befalls the protagonist.
The counterpart to 'faceless hero'. Sometimes the 'faceless evil' doesn't appear at all, but when it does, the player doesn't get a look at its face.
Henchmen are the loyal grunts caught in between the player and the main antagonist. Without them every game would be nothing more than a boss battle.
Nameless and disposable characters, who follow commands from whoever they see as their leader or boss.
Psychopaths are noted for generally lacking a conscience, getting enjoyment from various forms of destruction, and an inability to learn from their mistakes.
The act of forcing someone to engage in sexual activity against her or his will. Generally considered one of the worst things one human being can do to another.
Though a somewhat less common archetype than black knights, red-armored knights still show up now and again in Fantasy works and elsewhere. Like Black Knights, they are often (though not always), portrayed as malevolent.
The idea of deriving a feeling of pleasure through inflicting pain or suffering on another living being.
Anguish of body or mind. Can be used by authority figures to extract sensitive information that would not be given under normal circumstances.
War is a series of organized conflicts carried on by force of arms between two or more nations or groups. Whether it never changes or has already changed is up for debate.
